= Last Day =

Hide it here it will be safe while we wait the winter outand then when the spring comes again we can free it and row her and be together forever

But when the spring came he went away and I was left to walk and see the boat waitingwaiting for his return to row it once more

Many winters came and went the boat stayed there filling with leavesI would sweep them out and wait for him to return

Once the last time I came it was not thereI looked up and down and finally saw itTwo who I recognized had been small children of my youththey were now rowing it up the stream laughing with love in their eyes
